Direct Access

Introduction

Direct Access is a documentation strategy that focuses on modular navigation and easy access to substantial information (ex. substantial would be like a picture of how to plant an apple tree; non-substantial would be phrases like "planting an apple tree requires 5 steps")

Documentation consists of concepts (ex. hot and cold), details (ex. 5mm diameter), and instructions (how to get tools and materials and how to use them to make something)

Examples

The following example is the electronics section of the CEB Press. Notice:

• the links to information about other modules with additional details about how that module is used for "this" particular application.
• the direct links to order materials from suppliers
• the abundance of pictures and diagrams with a high density of substantial information.
